And because it is so difficult, Jesus would much prefer we fight for a supernatural form of love and unity instead of fighting against each other or people outside our faith.”

Hugh Halter Quote: “People can’t see God clearly because we keep creating fog banks of failed legalism, self-focused religion, definitions of holiness that extract us from the real world, and fear of our new neighbors because they are not like us.
